Exist 'Out of the Box' tracts

Brian Moore from Glasgow Baptist church has launched a new initiative which is literally 'outside the box'. A small black box contains tracts which simply have single words from Jesus and a follow up web link. The size of a business card, one simply says 'What if?' and on the back 'God exists' with the web link. It is both simple and complex as it engages the mind to think about issues. Some idea is gained by the website:

More to Life web book for enquirers

Mike Simmonds from Viz a Viz has pointed me to the More to Life website and the virtual book which explains the Gospel for enquirers. Short videos on several pages fit well to the text and the reader is asked several times if they want to stop or carry on reading. Well worth a look at:
